Edoardo Pirozzi takes over the baton from Günther Schüler junior - kick-off at the harvest festival in the Geltinger parish garden
Gelting - At the beginning of last year, Günther Schuler jun. announced that his position as conductor of the Gelting music band will be transferred to other hands. It is thanks to him and his father, the current honorary board member Günther Schuler senior, that the music band Gelting eV was founded in 1991 and with their commitment it was built to what it is today.
Günther Schuler jun. took over the position of conductor when the company was founded in 1991, which he now held for almost 30 years. “30 years is enough, it's time for a change,” he said.
Three potential conductors applied for the office.
Ultimately, Edoardo Pirozzi from Ebersberg was chosen as the new conductor.
Only positive voices could be heard from the feedback from the musicians: clear musical ideas, structured instructions that he can convey very well - he also fits in perfectly with the ensemble on a personal level.
The members of the band are extremely pleased that they were able to win Edoardo Pirozzi for this task.
